This function differs from the [[MarketPosition]] keyword in that it cannot take an argument to reference past values. By saving the value of MarketPosition_at_Broker to a Numeric [[Variable]], it's possible to reference the position at the broker for previous bars or ticks.
This function can '''only''' be used with [[Interactive Brokers]], [[Patsystems]], and [[Zen-Fire]].
== Notes ==
* This function can only be used in signals and functions. Use the [[i_MarketPosition_at_Broker]] to access it in indicators.* This function differs from the [[MarketPosition]] keyword in that it cannot take an argument to reference past values. By saving the value of MarketPosition_at_Broker to a Numeric [[Variable]], it's possible to reference the position at the broker for previous bars or ticks.* MarketPosition_at_Broker works with '''all''' brokers, though there are some peculiarities with [[Trading_Technologies|Trading Technologies]] ([http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9898&view=unread#p61922])::The '''Trading Technologies''' API doesn't provide information about positions opened the day before, in which case MultiCharts uses the average of all complete long (short) trades for the day to calculate the EntryPrice.
== Important ==
If Automated Trading was manually turned off by the user, the value returned by the keyword stops changing, and may remain unequal to '0'.
